posted on February 18, 2024

This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Smith & Wesson Model 69 Combat Magnum. A five-shot, L-frame .44 Magnum, this slim-profile revolver is perfect for backcountry bear defense. With a lighter weight and overall smaller footprint than most other guns in its chambering, the Model 69 Combat Magnum is among the most easily carriable .44 Magnums ever built, and comes with the choice of either a 2.75- or 4.25-inch barrel. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $999; smith-wesson.com
